“Dang! Now I have to start all over again.”
Thought this was mildly interesting. Chicago is ever so slightly in the western half population-wise.
I fell asleep at 7:30 last night, it wasn’t meant to be all night. Slept for 14 hours. Wish I could tell you I woke up feeling well rested.
I haven’t slept through the night since the 1980s so I envy you your long sleep. Four hours straight is my max.
Don’t envy it! I have hypersomnia, which can be a real curse. I’m never not tired.
Sorry to hear that.
Have you sought medical treatment for that?
I have a relative with narcolepsy. There are medications that can help.
To me, narcolepsy seems a little similar to diabetes. The body loses it’s ability to properly make & maintain a hormone called orexin (~insulin) and the person must learn to adapt to life without it.
Modafinil?
I use it from time to time when I get little sleep.
That’s one. There are others.
I don’t really know what heartburn feels like because I’ve only gotten it a handful of times before. But I think I have it now.
Be interesting to also include “total land area” (or population density per sq. mi.) with these graphs.
My exposure to British TV is paying dividends, I recognized both celebrity pictures in the tube. Harry Redknapp was on I’m a Celebrity a few years ago and Diane Morgan aka Philomena Cunk.
The line heads towards … Cockfosters. Snigger
Off to Cambridge…
I’m on a train to York in first class and I have a breakfast coming to me and the guy asks me if I want red sauce or brown sauce and I looked befuddled so he says I’ll give you one of each. It turns out I knew what both of them would be but it’s my first time having HP sauce major bucket list item ![]()
How did you miss that in your UK travels?
What was for breakfast?
beans on toast?
I’ve also never had it despite being in the UK twice. We have a local European-themed market that carries it, maybe I’ll have a go.
One friend egg, one sausage, two bacon (American bacon pales in comparison), potatoes. Skipped the mushroom, beans, and black pudding.
HP sauce is not too far from ketchup but I could quite figure out how to describe the difference.
I always thought it had a plummy taste, although it does not contain any plum.
